A RURAL IMMERSION PROGRAMFOR HEALTH
PROFESSIONS STUDENTS
RURAL HEALTH EXPERIENCES“I felt I was really able to understand each specialty in the rural health care system and was able to witness how each department worked along with each other to treat patient needs. I also learned the benefits and some issues that rural health care providers face.”
“I have always wanted to be a doctor who is able to truly care for and know my patients. After this experience I realized that the best way I can do this is by working in a rural hospital.”
“I’ve learned that rural health care professionals wear more hats than those that work in larger locations. This is more exciting because they aren’t always doing the same thing over and over.”
TO APPLY

• Learn about a variety of health professions disciplines by shadowing within multiple hospital departments;
• Discover more about rural health needs;
• Observe healthcare teams and collaborative meetings;
• Gain awareness and acceptance of different cultures; and
• Learn through active and organized involvement in the community.
RHE GOALS
• To learn about the social and health characteristics, needs and resources of a specific rural community.
• To understand the roles and responsibilities of different health care providers in a rural community.
• To reflect on a future career as a health care provider in a rural community and potential interest in this location as a future career location.
